Opening post by Lord 6God · #1

I have set an alarm for a war window. I am not proud of it.

A window you have to break your sleep for is a window you should let go.

Shield before you sleep, not after you wake to a ruin. The order is the whole trick.

Anyone who tells you to set an alarm is spending your life, not theirs.

Lord 6God said "A window you have to break your sleep for is a window you should let go" — I find it hard to fault 6God's sentiment, but I do think he's overlooking one crucial factor: the realm's overall state is often determined by those who aren't shielded, but who do manage to sleep through the war windows.

Lord 6God said "A window you have to break your sleep for is a window you should let go" — Perhaps that's why we're all reading these threads - because we're all yet to come across the one we genuinely wish to disagree with.

Lord 6God said "A window you have to break your sleep for is a window you should let go" — It's threads like this that remind me why we're all here & what brings us all back, even after a bad night: the camaraderie, the support, & the chance to share our experiences with each other.

Lord 6God said "A window you have to break your sleep for is a window you should let go" — There is no version of this where you are right, and yet here we are again. The realm is not about Drake, my lord; it is about the realm. I’d say we should keep our eyes on the bigger picture, not get lost in single‑threaded musings. My keep—level

Lord 6God said "A window you have to break your sleep for is a window you should let go" — I must admit I have now spent longer on your thread than on my own defences, which is indeed your real achievement; let us keep in mind that the realm is not about Drake, my lord, but about the realm itself.

Lord 6God said "A window you have to break your sleep for is a window you should let go" — yeah, i get that we can't all be right, but if anyone starts humming this at the wall, i’ll apologise in full and in public.
